Hot Tamale!

We had an eventful weekend here at the Delaney house. On Friday John worked from home and was able to watch Anabelle for a little while so that I could go get a massage. It was one of the best massages I have ever had, rivaled with the massage we got on our honeymoon. I was telling John how wonderful it was and how good the girl was who gave the massage and John seemed to think that maybe it was related to the amount of stress I have been in and that it was similar to the stress I was in after our wedding, and that that is why it was so good. Yeah, he could be right :)

On Friday night we had some friends over to play poker. Both John and I love playing poker and used to host games all the time, but over the last 2 years we haven't been playing as much poker as we like, so we were really happy to have everyone over. Anabelle chose to stay awake all day and then crash from 8:30 pm to about 4 am, which was nice because John and I could both enjoy playing and not have to be on baby duty. Of course we both lost, but had a great time.

The next day we went out to Zion, IL to a Chili Cookoff Contest Party hosted by our friends Michael and Inga. Every year they host this party and John has enjoyed making his chili and entering it in the past years. He has won 2nd place in the past, so we were excited to see how he would do this year.

In honor of the party and Anabelle being the youngest participant Inga made a onesie for Anabelle with a Chili Pepper on it. It was so cute and thoughtful-Thanks Inga!

At the Chili Party, Anabelle and Phil are deep in conversation

Congratulations on taking 2nd place again John, even though I can hardly eat your chili because it is so hot- it is tasty!

We had a great time at the party, thanks Michael and Inga!

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing, and enjoying a lazy Sunday. Hope everyone else had a great weekend too!
